Eligible Riverside County residents are being asked to make COVID-19 vaccination appointments through the Riverside University Health System-Public Health website.
Between now and Friday, hundreds of appointments are available at the four county-run clinics and those operated by Curative and OptumServe in Riverside County, according to a statement on the county’s website.
Those in Phases 1A and 1B are eligible, including residents 65 years of age and older and those with underlying health conditions.
“The supply of vaccine has increased and that allows us to provide more vaccination appointments,” said Kim Saruwatari, director of Public Health for Riverside County, in the statement. “This is a great opportunity for those who have been waiting to get vaccinated. It is quick and easy – both making the appointment and actually getting vaccinated.”
